Oliver Raccoon’s First Day of School: A Story of Quiet Bravery
Are your little ones feeling nervous about their first day of school? Help them discover that being quiet doesn’t mean you can’t do big things!

Meet Oliver Raccoon. He is thoughtful, shy, and deeply observant. As his first day of school approaches, Oliver's tummy is full of fluttering butterflies. Convinced that everyone else already knows what to do, Oliver worries he won't fit in.

But with the help of a kind, creative new friend named Pip, a magical classroom garden project, and a teacher who values every child's unique voice, Oliver learns a powerful lesson: You don’t have to be the loudest kid in the room to make a difference.
